Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:
Aries
With today’s Moon, dear Aries, you’re inclined to stick with familiar faces and places. If domestic demands interfere with your personal plans or feelings of independence, there can be some friction, but this can also be a time of creative inspiration. Fortunately, it’s a strong time for healing yourself through grounding activities or physical contact. You are drawn to natural activities that comfort. It’s a favorable time for negotiating contracts or bargains, and perhaps making a nice purchase. Fertile energy is with you for a fresh take on money, business, valuables, talents, and personal possessions. You project much warmth and love on a public or professional level today, which can greatly benefit you. Aim to take things easy and wind down for best results, but also make time and room for exploring your emotional needs.Taurus
Your curiosity leads the way today, dear Taurus, leading you to interesting experiences. Your desire to communicate is strong, but the day requires patience. You’ll accomplish more if you pace yourself and slow down a little. It’s also best to avoid speaking too soon about a matter, as there can be impatience with communications and secrets. Still, today’s energies point to some benefits to collaboration or learning about your ideas and perspective through stimulating conversations. It’s an excellent time for talking through difficulties or putting conflicts behind you. Someone might give you the benefit of the doubt. Creative ideas and shows of affection can stand out as notable. In truth, there is healing energy with you for relationships. This can occur entirely within, such as putting something behind you, or outside of you, such as moving past an obstacle in a partnership or friendship. Letting off steam in constructive ways will bring you the most success today.Gemini
With the Moon in your solar second house, dear Gemini, you’re ready to settle in. Even so, trying to get the timing right is a lesson in frustration. Today’s transits encourage a focus on practical and physical needs, but people can be distracting, as they tend to be blunt or indelicate. Hopefulness and optimism come in handy today, and you might spot a new opportunity to grow or expand a pursuit. Fortunately, today’s Sun-Ceres transit is excellent for seeking ways to heal, both emotionally and physically. It’s a good time for nurturing, creative, and domestic activities. As you wind down, discoveries can be rich, and others supportive. There is healing energy with you, and it makes sense to take note of the impressions and visions you have today, as they can be significant.Cancer
Today’s Moon in your sign adds extra emotional oomph to your energy today, dear Cancer. People are paying attention! Your feelings, wants, and needs are hard to deny. Watch for impatience and taking things very personally, particularly if there are pressures to meet a rule or obligation. Still, it’s a good time to get in touch with your feelings. As well, you’re in great shape for connecting with someone or putting bad feelings about a past relationship behind you. Forgiveness and graciousness are with you today. This can be a positive time for friendships, particularly through sharing ideas and exchanging stories, and for networking. Sharing your expertise with associates can be rewarding, and mutually beneficial as well. You can be quite popular with a partner, friends, or associates now, and you may receive favors or enjoy good company. Someone may be expressing their feelings about you.Leo
The Moon spends the day in your solar twelfth house, dear Leo, and it’s a time of the lunar month to prioritize relaxing, renewing, and recharging. Distractions are likely, but aim to clear your head and focus on the things that truly mean something to you right now. Keep in mind that you won’t get everything you want to do accomplished well unless you take good care of mind, body, and spirit. Work and health matters can benefit from a review or even a brainstorming session. You could find a nice balance between your personal and professional life now, and you seem to get along with everyone today, although this is particularly the case with public or professional relationships. Diplomacy goes a long way now, but even more so with sincerity in the mix. Today’s transits are good for extending gestures that speak for themselves.Virgo
Impulsiveness with money, resources, or relationships can be be an issue today, dear Virgo. But with this tendency kept in check, it’s a good time to connect with your wishes and hopes. You’re also in fine shape for insight, planning, and enjoying an increase in motivation. Children, a romantic partner, or a friend can be incredibly considerate or encouraging now. You’re well-positioned for learning and generating ideas, and it can be a time for self-improvement by extending yourself beyond your regular routine. You both inspire and charm others with your ideas today. In fact, the information you share with someone may even be healing. You’re more optimistic than usual and especially enthusiastic about your projects or ideas.Libra
Someone may encourage your confidence, whether directly or indirectly, and you can feel especially optimistic about the future, dear Libra. With the Moon at the top of your solar chart all day, it can be time to pay more attention to your responsibilities, both to yourself and others. Aim to be patient when it comes to following rules, and keep your goals in mind. Fortunately, good energy is with you for money matters or a resolution to a problem related to debt, support, or shared resources. Agreements come relatively easily, especially with a “soft sell” approach. Nobody wants to feel pushed into something today. However, hearts are open. It can be rewarding to concentrate on letting go and relaxing your mind. You’re in a good place for delving into your intimate thoughts and feelings, as you could be making some critical discoveries now.Scorpio
You’re in a strong position to expand your mind, share ideas, and learn new things today, dear Scorpio. The Moon’s transit of your solar ninth house today can be spirited. Because there can be plenty to distract you, and it’s probably best to slow down when communicating. Give yourself some emotional space to sort out your thoughts. Still, you’re in a superb position to come together in agreement or cooperation with a partner or special friend. You can impress others today, and someone is likely to impress you in turn. Because you are uniquely receptive to what others are saying, and you’re tuned into what you feel they may be thinking, this is a great time for negotiations, particularly on a one-to-one level or with a partner. You are gracious and accepting, and others return the favor.Sagittarius
Feelings and enthusiasm can help point you in directions that encourage growth and self-improvement today, dear Sagittarius. Even so, with the Moon in your solar eighth house all day, you tend to take things to heart. Flexibility brings rewards now, and while you can feel a little impatient, it’s better to implement small, manageable changes. You can be uniquely interested in activities that heal, renew, and refresh. Your helpfulness, service, or work are appreciated. While today may not be incredibly productive in the stricter sense of the word, it may be good for your morale and helpful socially. You see things in a more positive and forgiving light, and this is powerful. Coming to a good work-life balance is in focus. Take extra steps to reach out and help others now.Capricorn
The Moon transits your partnership sector all day, dear Capricorn, and you are relationship-focused. Today can be good for learning more about yourself and the important people in your life. It’s easy to feel offended or frustrated, but tensions may be about a desire to improve. Fortunately, your appeal gets a real boost, primarily due to your creative ideas, wit, and warmth. This can be a time for seeking pleasure, sharing good times with others, and putting regrets or resentments behind you. There is strong energy today for showing others you care. People are drawn to you naturally, and you are turning heads more than usual. Open up conversations, share your feelings, and keep the mood light and playful.Aquarius
Today’s Moon encourages you to focus on the little things and the loose ends in your life, dear Aquarius. Distractions can undermine productivity, especially when you’re excited about a project or idea, and nervous energy is possible. However, you’re motivated, and with the extra effort you make to focus and concentrate, you position yourself well for making a dent. It’s a potentially good day for releasing a problem. Family and close friends are easier to get along with today, and you are particularly open to sharing your time and energy with loved ones. You might feel a pleasing sense of belonging and understanding with someone close to you. Do not push for answers, but do some gentle exploration now for the best results.Pisces
You can feel rejuvenated through play, self-expression, and entertainment today, dear Pisces. Watch for some defensiveness or a tendency to want to prove something, however. Getting to a compromise and balance may very well be exhausting but ultimately worthwhile. Pushing too hard for answers can lead to undue stress. Fortunately, a Sun-Ceres transit makes it easy to express yourself and your feelings. Someone or a love interest might introduce interesting experiences into your life. Sharing your ideas can be gratifying, and clearing the air with someone can lead to good feelings. Conversations tend to be more considerate than usual, holding the potential to mend and heal.* Remember to read horoscopes for your Ascendant sign and Sun sign.
